Bringing the hostel map which show in my camera display, we asked some peoples for the hostel location. There was a kind ajuma who run a groceries shop nearby. She is very kind to call the hostel for me. But too bad no one picked up the phone. Ajuma can speak korean and spannish but no english. She always spoke spannish to me although i always tried to speak korean with her hahaha I think i can understand korean more than spannish though....
The hostel was Beewon Guest House. The room is ok. Only differs 3000won with the hostel at first night, we can have a private ensuite room + tv + refrigerator + breakfast. But only can score this hostel 70 from 100 cause the bathroom was too stinky :P I have to spray my perfume everyday at the toilet --; It was a new perfume and i did like the smell. But after stayed at this hostel, every time i smelled my perfume, it will remind me back to toilet smell.... gosh! I think i will not use this new perfume for one year, maybe... haha
For brunch in this day, I had a Sundubu Chige (순두부 찌게), a tofu chige and my brother had a Cheyugdopbap ( 재육덮밥 ), spicy pork mixed with vegetable and rice. We just order by picture and asked the name after ate it. My brother quite disappointed that he ordered cheyugdopbap because his korean friend always make this kind of food for him. All the pictures looked same on the menu as all is red heheh He should order another dishes that he never eat.
As it was too early, the shops in Insadong had not open. So we went to Namdaemong directly. Found nothing interest in there, we bought a fish cake stick (don't know what is the name) and walked to Myeongdong. We tried Jimjilbang ( 찜질방 ), a korean style sauna in here. If you ever watched korean drama, I bet you know what kind of sauna it is. There are many facilities in here such as game center, internet, nail-art, massage etc. You can sleep all day in here or even stay a night at here. We stayed 4 hours in here. It should be a refresh station for me from tiredness but dun know why after i had the sport massage in here, i suddenly got a terrible headache. Couldn't sleep well in Jimjilbang.... but it seems like a great refresh for my brother though. Lucky him!
We met my friend, Heesun-shi after out from Jiljimbang. While waiting for her, we had a korean style sausages which they call "Sunde" (순대). There are really many kind of foods we can try in Seoul. Although we had promised to Heesun-shi that we will have dinner together, we still couldn't reject the sunde charm hehehe
We had a nice nice barbecue and Kalbeechim (갈비찜), korean steamed beef ribs for dinner. My first time to have Kalbeechim. It was spicy and a little bit sweet. I am so sorry to Heesun-shi that I couldn't had a nice drink with here due to my headache. So she drank with my brother . Seems like every korean can drink very well ^^;
After dinner, we went to karaoke which the koreans will call it Norebang (노래방). I saw many norebang in seoul, and i think it much more than in Japan. Koreanese must be very like to sing more than japanese, i think hehe. Karaoke in korea is much cheaper than japan, as the fee is per room not per person. More ppls then more reasonable the price will be. Same as Indonesian system.

How trite you are with your comments regarding the use of perfume to assuage the smell from the toilet in the Beewon Guest House! And such a waste of perfume too. Perhaps the next time you travel, you should bring clothes pegs and use them on your nose. These are much more effective albeit a bit painful. But then again no pain, no gain.
